What wearers say
“It is very similar to the original code but this one is deeper and more sensual. I like the original one a little bit more since it projects more on my skin. I also enjoy the honey note in the original but this version is more on the tonka bean side. Sometimes it becomes overwhelming.”
“Accidentally got this instead of the male Code Absolu, but I like it. Not a fan of that sharp white floral opening, but it gets to the dry down quickly. As it settles, it's a creamy vanilla with a subtle hint of florals in the background.That creamy vanilla smells great in the air, it's like a cream soda.Honestly pretty decent and I'd wear it as a guy.”
“Not sharp as I hoped... On my skin, this one developed too boring...; like for 50+ wmns office...Only plus is that it doesn't develope powderly...Had to find another perfume, and this one sits on shelf, waiting for winter time...”
